Man the kid makes some slick little passes on his backhand. Definitely a lot of talent
-
Wooooooo beauty pass to send bo and gets the finish. Just beauty
-
Kid looks good out there. Speed looks fine, positioning looks decent. Moment is definitely not overwhelming him. Couple quick little passes. Can't wait to see him get some pp time let that shot fly

if Willie sits him or Plays him under 12 minutes I'm going to be pissed.
I think he's got the memo though from Linden and Benning. this is the kid of the future.
He is the future but there's gonna be a lot less time and space in the show and he could use a bit work on his agility. Regardless put this kid on the pp in his natural spot. Right shot point and throw stecher in tanevs place

Fired up to see this kid. Hope everyone puts their expectations somewhat realistic. It's a huge step and he has some things he needs to work on
-
Every time I watched him play I always thought he had OEL style and upside but more and more I read this talk maybe Suter is a good comparison. Either or would be fan fricking tastic

Nope, Leafs fans are not allowed to jab at anyone else until their team proves that they are legit. And he's not even smart, if he had a hint of knowledge about those two he wouldn't be saying those things.
Edmonton fans ain't allowed to chime in either. We've pounded both of those franchises to a pulp for the better part of 2 decades. Both fan bases can pipe down

Jesus Christ people can we stop bringing up the past on JV. Yeah we could have had ehlers or nylander.....whatever, it's getting old. He came to camp out of shape and was floating around on the ice.....well he's not anymore. He's partying (maybe) and being entitled was a red flag for sure.......he was 20 and every time you turn on the radio/tv you see yourself as the saviour, it went to his head and sure it shows immaturity but cmon people I think we can give him a pass if it doesn't continue.
The guys been working hard and playing great the last month or so. If he was playing like this he would have never been sent down in the beginning. He doesn't have the creativity and hockey iq to drive play in the offensive zone but that's not his game. He's using his speed when the puck gets on his stick drive defenders back to gain the zone, that's how he is suppose to drive play. He's definitely snake bitten this year but he's been picking up a couple points lately, maybe they're finally starting to go in.
Kids playing well lately. Let's start focusing on the present and future

Virtanen - lololololololol
McCann- meh
Tryamkin- Pretty good
Demko - Got lucky with him but awesome
Forsling- Surprised.. WHy the fk did we trade him.
Overall aight.
Typical hater comment. That draft will produce more nhlers for the Canucks then any in the last 20 years. 5 nhlers in one draft is incredible and 4 have already played in the show so soon.
Wake up

What's your guys' point?
I met Jamie Benn in Campbell River in 2012 and he was wasted drunk. Two years later he played for Team Canada at the Olympics and was arguably their best forward playing for one of the most dominant Canadian teams of all time
It's alcohol, not heroin.
It started with why jake came to camp out of shape and maybe because he partied to much in the summer and the convo just carried onto one party

I wasn't there at that golf tournament but had a buddy who was. Heard some stories about Jake and the "fun" he had. I also heard some interesting stories about other NHLers there too.
Yeah there was definitely some fun had by lots lol. A lot of booze and a lot of babes for sure, and I don't think the babes were wives/gf's.......

I like the kid. He seems like a good guy, but I really hope he figures out how to be a pro, especially when he's not being supervised.
He's a cocky little sh*t lol, he's just trained how to talk/act infront of the camera. He'll figure it out. The ahl stint is prolly a huge wake up call for him. Kids got all the tools just needs to get his head on straight and he'll be a force for us

They made a mistake when they proclaimed Jake and Jared had made the team. Both should have gone back before the 40 game mark and preserved their elc, but they made a spectacle out of them making the team and backed themselves into a corner. Jake is a 1/2 year behind. He's not someone who needs to rely on other players to make him better, so he has a leg up on the rest of the Canucks' prospects near him.
Every time Benning is asked about the direction of the team he says we wanna get faster and more physical. Who else would he have taken in the draft? It was a no-brainer from his point of view and I have to say I would have done the same thing. Jake has another year to prove himself in the minors if he doesn't make the Canucks next season.
The Canucks just haven't sucked enough in the past 10 years to have been forced to play green rookies. The Detroit model worked for 25 years and it should be the model for development. Just because we picked 6th, doesn't mean we were a bottom dweller and needed to put that player into the lineup the way that other teams are forced to.
Jake needed a pee-pee slap, an attitude adjustment and a lesson in humility. He has received all of those and will be a better hockey player for it. If the Comets make the playoffs, there's a great opportunity for the prospects to get even better, and the Canucks get a better draft pick.
I fail to see the problem with jake spending his 1st year of AHL eligibility in the AHL.
Absolutely 1 million percent right. So right it's wrong lol. This is the first time he's ever "failed" in his life (hockeywise). Let's not forget the kids age. He's a little immature....so sue him, he's only a kid. He'll fig it out

The dynamic of the west and pacific in particular has changed. We shouldn't be afraid to go after the smaller more skilled centres. I would take Patrick #1 don't get me wrong but the day of needing centres to go against getzlaf kopitar hanzel kesler etc etc are done. By the time our team is ready to compete those guys are going to basically irrelevant. Draistle and strome are really the only big centremen threats in the division we're gonna have to worry about size with skill wise

Jake was playing well at the end of last season too. Maybe he's gotten into the bad habit of playing himself into shape?
He came into camp out of shape plain and simple. Who knows why?! The kid probably parties too much. I was in a golf tournament in whistler which he and a bunch of other nucks/nhlers were in and he was probably the biggest party animal of the bunch. I never seen him on the course so maybe I shouldn't run my mouth but he was definitely the talk of the after party

I doubt Jake ever worked hard a day in his life, to be honest. I say Jake pays up, and spends the summer at that hockey camp that ex Flames player runs in Ontario: Gary Roberts?
A guy that's an absolute freak in the gym, a track star and a pro athlete never worked hard a day in his life? That's just an idiotic comment. Why wouldn't Bo want to hang with him? The kid is an absolute beauty. I agree with the training regiment for sure. He's immature, that's his problem. I'm sure the ahl stint has been a real wake up call for him. This is the first time he's ever had failure in his hockey career. He'll be ready to go next year.
The guys been a rockstar his entire life and hearing all those stupid commercials pumping his tires pre season prolly went to his head.
Hes playing better lately, a lot better. I'd be shocked if he doesn't come into camp jacked and looking for blood

You know what... I was talking the the game before against the Sens. Not the Demko shutout. Sorry.
The game before that he left the ice in the 2nd period and didn't return. Game before that he was the best player on the ice also. He's stepping his game up lately. This is a Virtanen hate thread I know but the kids playing super well last couple weeks

Too bad Utica wasn't in a playoff hunt. It'd be awesome to see some of the new talent there.....boeser gaudette dhalin goldobin gaunce saying alright potential new core.....let's see what you got, go make a run

Didn't watch his last game vs binginton but the night before vs the penguins he looked great. Super noticeable. Had a few good chance (1 great) a few good hits even 2 of his patented run over the guy who try's to hit him. Couple good back checks. Really engaged in the offensive zone not the lost look he had before.
Kids really snake bitten you can you can see it. He fanned on the puck right infront of the net prime chance 2 shots blocked in close. He's definitely working hard in the last few games I've seen.
Be nice if he had a bit more skill to play with.....playing with cassels must be hard. Guys a pure grinder always a step behind in the offensive zone (mind you I've only watched a handful of games but from what I've seen he's garbage, cassels that is)
